Plant Physiological EcologyAuthor(s): Hans Lambers, Rafael S. Oliveira\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\nISBN-13: 9783030296384, 978-3030296384\nSynopsis\nGrowth, reproduction, and geographical distribution of plants are profoundly influenced by their physiological ecology: the interaction with the surrounding physical, chemical, and biological environments. This textbook highlights mechanisms that underlie plant physiological ecology at the levels of physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology. At the same time, the integrative power of physiological ecology is well suited to assess the costs, benefits, and consequences of modifying plants for human needs and to evaluate the role of plants in natural and managed ecosystems.\n\nPlant Physiological Ecology, Third Edition is significantly updated, with many full color illustrations, and begins with the primary processes of carbon metabolis.
